Title: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Dave Gray on September 29, 2010, 06:28:15 pm I don't feel that McNabb is boo-worthy. I do think they will, though. Maybe Philly will show some class.
I think that those that support JT will draw a comparison here, but I don't think they're the same. Thoughts? Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: StL FinFan on September 29, 2010, 06:36:21 pm I don't think they should, but being who they are, they will.
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Philly Fin Fan on September 29, 2010, 06:39:56 pm Seriously? Come on, they booed him when he was drafted. Now that he plays for a division rival, he'll definitely get booed!
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on September 29, 2010, 06:54:03 pm I believe he will get booed as well but I do not think that he should be. He took them to what 5 Conference Championship games and 1 Super Bowl. I would take that over missing the playoffs for multiple consecutive years.
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Dave Gray on September 29, 2010, 07:13:20 pm I don't think that all of that matters, so much. I don't expect Favre to be cheered in Green Bay, despite all that he's done.
I think that McNabb has done and said all of the right things. Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 29, 2010, 07:59:00 pm we are discussing a fan base that booed santa claus. why is this even a question?
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Dave Gray on September 29, 2010, 08:11:32 pm I think we might be surprised, because booing is so expected.
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: BigDaddyFin on September 29, 2010, 09:50:54 pm Of course he will.
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: mecadonzilla on September 29, 2010, 10:16:06 pm I'm sure there will be a smattering of applause and cheers, but there should be a resounding chorus of boos.
This is Philly we're talking about. Class and Eagle fans are mutually exclusive terms. Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: David Fulcher on September 30, 2010, 02:28:26 am Wow...I'm the only one that put "no" thus far....kinda surprised on that one, even if it is Philadelphia.
Now, I'm not gonna sit here and try to say that I don't think a few, or maybe even several, Philly fans won't be booing D-Mac on Sunday afternoon, so if that was the context of the question, then my answer would obviously need to be switched to "yes". But, I look at the question as, "Will nearly all the Eagles fans in the Linc be booing the guy?". (because obviously I'm assuming the 'Skins fans brave enough to show up won't be!) Perhaps I'm just naive, or actually think these people might have some intelligence to them (sorry, Philly ;) ...don't worry, I admit I'm from AL if you want to *fire* back :D ), but I just find it hard to believe that some of those people won't appreciate what D-Mac did while he was there in addition to the way he has handled himself since going to Washington. Like Dave has already mentioned, I think that's a large part to do with the *difference*, if you will, between him and JT. While I'm kinda with people like JVides who still wish we had the guy and still like him, he plays for a hated rival now so I definitely don't care for him when he's playing for said team that day/night. But had I been in SunLife Stadium Sunday night, I don't think I would have been booing him, not even after his sack. .....wouldn't have been cheering him after it, that's for sure, but also not booing. I guess that might just be me, though, I shouldn't assume that the Iggles fans will behave in the same...fashion. :D Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: CF DolFan on September 30, 2010, 07:56:08 am I'm not mad at Jason Taylor and look forward to when he retires a Dolphin, but I would have booed him Monday just for playing for the Jets. Given this thought process, and the fact they booed freaking Santa Claus, Philly will no doubt boo his butt!!
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Phishfan on September 30, 2010, 09:31:22 am Philly boos everyone and they never really seemed to have a connection with him. Like Philly said he has been booed by people in the city since the day he was drafted. Nothing will change.
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Philly Fin Fan on September 30, 2010, 10:29:34 am Hey guys, do me a favor... when you all say Philly has no intelligence", make sure to specify "THE CITY OF PHILLY" , not the poster known as Philly! I'm starting to feel insulted!
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Brian Fein on September 30, 2010, 07:44:11 pm Philly has no common sense. Philly boos Santa. Philly sucks.
;) :P Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Dave Gray on September 30, 2010, 08:08:25 pm Jaws seems to think he won't get booed.
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Spider-Dan on October 01, 2010, 01:27:46 am I'm not sure why Philly would boo McNabb. He was TRADED (and it's not like he was bitching to the media, asking for a trade, etc.). What's he supposed to do about it?
Title: Re: Will McNabb be booed in Philly? Post by: Pappy13 on October 01, 2010, 09:57:17 am I spoke to a buddy of mine who's from Philly and been to a lot of games. He thinks that McNabb will get applause when he's first announced for the most part and then boo'd during the game. That's to be expected I would think. Sounds about right to me.
